Common payroll problems include:

Sending out incorrect or late payslips

This is technically illegal and you could receive a fine from HMRC.

Getting tax calculations wrong

This often happens when the wring tax code's used or a mistake's made when calculating taxes.

Failing to pay HMRC on time

If you don't pay on time, you'll be charged interest and could be liable for penalties.

Not paying National Insurance Contributions (NIC)

Again, if you don't pay your employer NIC, you could face fines from HMRC.

Missing pension payments

Missing or late pension payments can cause undue stress for employees.

Not completing the Declaration of Compliance

Expect hefty fines for not completing a Declaration of Compliance with The Pensions Regulator (this declaration shows you're meeting your automatic enrolment duties as an employer).

Underpaying employees, or not paying them at all

It's a serious issue that can lead to severe financial hardship for your employees.

Not paying unauthorised overtime

An employee may work extra hours without prior approval, so it's important your employees are aware they need approval for working overtime, otherwise you could owe them a lot of money in back pay.

Not reimbursing expenses

Employees who incur expenses on behalf of your business should be reimbursed in a timely manner.

Losing track of payroll records

Good payroll housekeeping's crucial to ensure records are accurate and up-to-date, if they're not, you could face more fines.
